Are you certain you need 10.2.8 compatibility? Very few users are
still using 10.2 (indeed, so few that Steve Jobs boasted about that
fact at WWDC), so the consequences of dropping 10.2 support will in
most cases be minimal.
Who can say? Apple never releases hard data. I wish they would. (Or
give away 10.3 at the very least.)
I'd rather drop support due to a technical reason, rather than "it's
a pain to build for."
Although it may not exactly match your target user base, many people
find the Omni Group's software update statistics to be useful:

Of course you need to consider that many of their products no longer
run 10.2 so the numbers are biased.
With that said... I see no compelling reason to support 10.2 or
earlier at this point.
There is, however, reason to support 10.2.8 in certain educational software that's targeted at schools in particular. Schools don't typically update their OS's when a new one comes out, but when they upgrade to newer hardware which isn't that regular either.
Anyway this is going off topic for this list. Yes, it is. Because of that, this will be my first & last reply to this thread. :-)
